11.7.16 Pump test run (4.2.5)
Fig. 51 Pump test run
Description
This function is primarily used in situations where the forced
pump changeover is deactivated, and/or if the Control MPC is set
to operating mode Stop, for instance in a period when the system
is not needed.
In such situations, it is important to test the pumps regularly.
The function ensures that
• pumps do not seize up during a long standstill due to deposits
from the pumped liquid.
• the pumped liquid does not decay in the pump.
• trapped air is removed from the pump.
The pumps start automatically one by one and run for five
seconds.
Setting range
• Not used.
• Once every 24 hours.
• Once every 48 hours.
• Once a week.

11.7.17 Pilot pump (4.2.6)
Fig. 52 Pilot pump
Description
The function controls a pilot pump via a digital output. The pilot
pump takes over the operation from the main pumps in periods
when the consumption is so small that the stop function of the
main pumps is activated. See section 11.7.23 Stop function
(4.3.1).
Via a digital input, the operational state of the pilot pump is
monitored, i.e. whether it is operational or in a fault condition.
The purpose is to
• save energy
• reduce the number of operating hours of the main pumps.
If the pilot pump cannot keep the pressure by itself, one or more
main pumps are started. If only one main pump is started and
runs on/off operation, the pilot pump remains cut in. If one or
more main pumps run continuously, the pilot pump is cut out.
Setting range
• See section 11.7.31 Digital outputs (4.3.9).
• See section 11.7.26 Digital inputs (4.3.7).
